In a match that quickly turned from a bleh affair into an thrilling victory, the Portland Timbers defeated FC Dallas 1-0 at Providence Park. Jeremy Ebobisse scored the lone goal for Portland.
With no Eryk Williamson or Claudio Bravo available for this match, the Timbers lineup looked a little stranger than usual. We saw Renzo Zambrano manning the midfield for the Timbers in this one with Diego Chara. Jeremy Ebobisse also moved to the wing while Yimmi Chara and Felipe Mora both returned. Diego Valeri started this one on the bench, but came in the second half.
